Our designs also conform to local environmental regulations with the assistance of permitting specialists to create a sustainable solution that can help showcase the beauty of your property.

This can include suggestions for when to water and how to care for plants, as well as seasonal tasks that keep your landscape healthy over time.

The duration of the landscape designing process at The Watershed Company may vary according to the type of project you are dealing with and the characteristics of your property. In general, the design process takes a few weeks to a couple of months. This process typically takes a few weeks and can include preliminary conversations, visits to the site, and working through design iterations — with notes and comments from both sides — to ensure the intended product matches the final design. After the design has received final approval, more time may be needed for securing any permits that may be necessary, particularly for shoreline designs where specific environmental protections apply. Our team will communicate timelines and milestones with you all along the way to keep the process seamless.
